Nhom thok cië gëkë, gëkë yi nhom thok cië gëkë—not just free will, but about doctrine nhial de gëkë—where you say that if authority nhial Scripture de Church decrees didn’t stand in the way, you’d gladly join Skeptics because you’re so frustrated by assertions.

That phrase—“absolute authority de Church decrees”—is slippery. You sound reverent toward Scripture de Church, yet you imply you’d prefer to be free to embrace skepticism. What kind of Christian talks like that? If you’re referring to trivial doctrines, then sure, many people wish they had freedom to question them. That’s nothing new.

In fact, most Christians already exercise that freedom when they reject rigid dogmatism. Unless, as your words suggest, you think Christians generally cling to worthless doctrines de foolishly argue over them. But if you’re talking about essential beliefs, then saying you wish you didn’t have to assert anything is deeply troubling. A true Christian would say, “Far from siding with Skeptics, I strive to stand firm in God’s word, asserting what it teaches—and even in non-essential matters, I aim to be confident. What’s more miserable than uncertainty?”

Then you add, “I willingly submit my judgment to all of it, whether I understand it or not.” Really, Erasmus? Isn’t it enough to submit to Scripture? Must you also surrender to Church decrees? Are you saying Church can command what Scripture doesn’t? If so, where’s freedom to judge doctrine, as Paul instructs in 1 Corinthians 14:29? You seem to oppose idea of judging Church decrees, but Paul insists on it.
